Ok so my son is kind of a gear head and he is trying to steer me away from doing anything to extravagant with lilred, the body is a little beat up.

We've been talking back and forth and talking forums. he found this add.... which he thought maybe a good deal.

"Trying to off load my All Pro SAS kit I was going to use on my 94. Passing on the same deal I got, $1500 for the COMPLETE SAS kit (5125 series shocks), 83 COMPLETE axle, and 83 transfer case. Also comes with and extra set of rotors and rear 5125 shocks! Good deal, please pick this up!"

A front axle, depending on condition sells for $200-$350. Make sure it isn't bent. You will need to install the Sky kit in order to make the front the same width as your IFS rear, you will also need a front driveshaft.

Lots of work to install a kit like this but very doable and worth the effort if it's done right.
